Thanks! Im looking forward to it. I really enjoyed the meet last year other than seeing Wayne move his hand and not saying squat, lol. My fault for that one. When you and Mike are judges it leaves the guess work for us out. We know we have to break but we know we arent going to have to go beyond what the rules ask for like some feds require. Plus Ive always wanted to lift in a meet put on by Gary, Ive heard nothing but good things about them.

I think you'll enjoy this meet. Garry does a good job. Elevated platform that is very stable. Good equipment to lift on. Snacks in the warm-up room for the lifters.
Garry uses carpet on the platform. Most people like it, but now and then someone doesn't. Just mentioning it to give you a heads-up.

Yeah Bev he started moving his arm so I went. You and Mike gave me reds because you never heard squat. My handler burried me on that one,lol.

Cody, I havent heard the first peep out of him since Wednesday. He may be dead or passed out on Bourban Street. Hell someone will have to go with me, if its me and Jamison I may be left out there stranded.

Pull night. Pretty good night although I had something to attend and I had to get in get doen and get out.

rep week for the pull, sumo in briefs
585*3*3

conventional raw pulls
405*15

finished with some lite lat pulls.

The set of 15 nearly killed me. Been all stopped up (damn weather) and couldnt get my breath. Form is starting to come back on the pull, the sets felt easier this week than a lighter weight two weeks ago. Next week is a me week. Looks like conventional standing on top of 100s. Im trying to do all my me work raw conventional atm. Probably swap back to geared up sumo around the middle to end of April. Hoping this will get my pull back to where it was before.

I have no idea who the third judge will be at the meet D.
If it helps though, thought I would let you know that you can tell the head ref if you prefer to get a fast squat command. They will usually do their best to help you out as long as it within the limits of the rules.
